How can you adjust the cut in point, on the cross faders, with the newmark mixtrack platinum fx so that the sound is instantaneous when you move the cross fader
My question is do we have to have windows 11 to run the newer platinum fx smoothly I'm using Windows 10 and it seems to freeze or struggle. You can also show all 4 decks on serato as the previous Platinum fx could whick makes it alot easier if 4 playing decks is your thing just press Deck Select Scratch button.
Hi brother. I have a laptop pc with external sound card ( sound blaster xfi) connecting with Logitech Z906. If I buy the platinum fx how will have sound on my Logitech? Should I disassemble external sound card and work with the sound card that mixer controller has? Is this mixer controller be able too corporate with my sound blaster?
Did you go over how to use the "Tap" button? The manual says to "Press this button 4 or more times to manually enter a new BPM". I'm doing that, but doesn't seem to change anything in Serato...
@@digitaldjtips I think I misunderstood the function of this button. I thought it was used to change the BPM of the song. In case Serato calculated it incorrectly. On my Numark NS7, tapping the “tap” button in time with the song changes the BPM, making it more accurate.
Should I get this or the DDJ 400 as a bedroom mixer to learn how to mix and beat match on. And I would think about getting Serato DJ Pro as well eventually. Thanks!
Do you think this would be better for the djay app for iOS then the reloop buddy it does have more knobs for the EQ’s where it seems they kinda missed out on that on the reloop buddy and is also a bit cheaper
We like these Numark controllers a bit more than the Buddy (in general), though the Reloop Buddy is designed to work with djay specifically, so will integrate better/more easily with that app specifically.
I used Mixtrack Pro 3 and I can play 4 decks just by mapping the "Wheel" to become a deck changer :D Things that I like most from this FX version is got Gain Control for Mixtrack Pro FX. And maybe hidden feature Numark shockproof because Phill said "That's not the first time"! Hahaha...
I just purchased a numark mixtrack platinum fx, I have serato dj pro software if I already purchased it before using my controller how do I activate my controller to serato dj pro without having to use a free trial or purchasing it again
one question. let’s say i have a pc that plays sound through the monitor, or a laptop as it is. and buy that dj controler. i will be able to use it and hear the sound from this “output” or i’ll need an extra gear? (i’m not talking for the headphones for mixing)
I am new to all of this and now torn between the DDJ 400 and Numark platinum fx, which would you suggest? I do like the 4 track possibilities although that's not something I'm ready for at the moment. I was leaning heavily towards the DDJ 400 because of it's included premium software. which one is the closest to a club setup and Will allow for a smoother move to the next step?
I want to get into DJing. I’m thinking about the Numark Platinum Or the NI kontrol S3. They are about the same price if you consider you have to buy the full Serato in the end. Wich one would you advice me to buy? Really like these jog wheels and the display of the Numark. But I also love the four channel mixer of the S3 and the loop and move knob. So....that’s the difficult decision before me. Really value your opinion.
If you are mainly an electronic DJ and don't want to play disco, funk, pop, rock etc, Traktor is probably best - loop/move is a great function for house DJing. Serato is more up to date software, and the better all-rounder. Choose your software first: It is more important than the controller.
First thoughts : You should only get this if you don’t own a Mixtrack Platinum because basically looks the same here. I would just find few AFX units and add them if you need all these features with Serato FX engines you get the same or better 👍 if you can find cheap mixtrack platinum & AFX it’s as good or better
This is great for new DJs who would have bought the old one, agreed it's less of an easy sell for those who already do but if they're anything like us the one they have probably still works great :)
Hi Phil (and team), thank you for these weekly shows, they're so useful! I'm slightly confused as to the scratching latency question at 14:50 here - live you say you can adjust this on your computer settings to suit, but in the Platinum FX review in reply to a comment by ' Maestr0damus' the response says you're stuck with how they are. Can you provide a bit more info, maybe I've confused the question intents? Thank you!
Maestr0damus asked about adjusting the jogwheel themselves (some controllers offer controls like jogwheel tension etc) this doesn't. Latency between your input and the computer acting upon it can be changed in the settings.
Does the Platinum FX have the humming problem like the early version of the previous Platinum? When no deck is playing many people reported they were hearing a dissonant hum.
This or the fx pro with full Serato is s the best controller at this price point. Toggle switches, full size pitch and large jog wheels that feel the same as denon prime 2
This may sound stupid 🤷🏾♂️ But why do NUMARX go with Serato and not say Virtual DJ? I ask because practically all the DJs I know who have Serato automatically go n buy something from the pioneer range. And most of the DJs including myself who tend to purchase and use Numark products all use VDJ? Hope that makes sense 😅
The mixtrack pro fx is the controller that is 50 dollars cheaper & doesn't feature the visual displays on the jog wheels. The mixtrack platinum fx is 50 dollars more & DOES feature the visual displays...that is basically the only difference..both have the same effects/features although the pro fx is a 2 channel controller. Platinum is 4 channel.
That is very good. I’m a beginner at the DJ position and I just picked up the pro model. Can’t wait to get this started. I’m in Utah.
Waiting for Numark NV III, Numark V7 II and Numark NS7 IV
And yes, I'm gonna buy it all
We will tell you as soon as we know anything...

27:17 those buttons are still handy though for searching through the track, I've just ordered this unit and I plan to get Serato Dj pro
Awesome, have fun with it!
I ment to say get all the sample sounds to the 8 pads when u get the pro software
Hi Phil how do i set the settings the effect to the mic please could you explain
I think you misunderstood me, there are no FX on the mic.
Can you help me how can I set the time on the jog display..to show the remain time of the actual track..??Thanks
Hello i have these numark platinum fx controller but the jog wheels have a delay on playing music
It'll be a software/laptop issue not the Mixtrack - that's where to check.
Also in case of ddj 400 we can change the effect in HPF/LPF to noise filter from the recordbox software... Is it possible in serato - platinum Fx?
No, you're stuck with the filter.
@@digitaldjtips ok.... Thanks so much for the reply
wanna get one of these for my brother but wanna know should i buy
Numark MIXTRACKPLATINUMFX or the flx4 from pioneer
FLX4 is better value
Hi brother. I have a laptop pc with external sound card ( sound blaster xfi) connecting with Logitech Z906. If I buy the platinum fx how will have sound on my Logitech? Should I disassemble external sound card and work with the sound card that mixer controller has? Is this mixer controller be able too corporate with my sound blaster?
You plug this directly into your powered speakers.
How do u get it to work
Hi Phil... what other brand models do these compare to? Thanks
Watch the end of the video, I talk through the competitors.
Did you go over how to use the "Tap" button? The manual says to "Press this button 4 or more times to manually enter a new BPM". I'm doing that, but doesn't seem to change anything in Serato...
Are the FX now synced to the tapped tempo or the tempo shown in Serato when you do it?
@@digitaldjtips I think I misunderstood the function of this button. I thought it was used to change the BPM of the song. In case Serato calculated it incorrectly. On my Numark NS7, tapping the “tap” button in time with the song changes the BPM, making it more accurate.
I have a Numark Platinum FX.... Do I need an external sound card to hear the headphones and not have what I am Cueing going out to the sound system?
No you don't
Should I get this or the DDJ 400 as a bedroom mixer to learn how to mix and beat match on. And I would think about getting Serato DJ Pro as well eventually. Thanks!
Either! They're both great options and are more than enough to get started on
Good day to u it come with the license

Hi i would like to know if Virtual DJ. Software can be use with Numark mixtrack platinum pro?
Yes: www.virtualdj.com/products/hardware.html
Is it possible to change or remap the fadercuts into other useful features such as STEMS on Virtual DJ 2021?
Haven't tried but I don't see why not
Thanks!

I just purchased a numark mixtrack platinum fx, I have serato dj pro software if I already purchased it before using my controller how do I activate my controller to serato dj pro without having to use a free trial or purchasing it again
Just plug it in, if you have bought a license to Serato Pro you should be good to go

Serato has an option to use your laptop speakers.
@@digitaldjtips thank you for the response
Great show as always Mr. Phil
Thanks very much!

Without a doubt a DDJ-400 to that specific question, either would be great for learning to DJ on though

I don't see that these new controllers have a button with the SLIP function. Do not have this option?
No, it is not in Serato DJ Lite. If you had Serato DJ Pro, you could always map it.

@@digitaldjtips AFX units very hard to get now , great serato FX add ons👍
Is that controller is good for scratching like a vinyl scratch sounds sir..
We think any controller is fine for scratching
I had the mix track pro 1, 2 & 3 what do we have here I say 😅😀
Haha sounds like time for a new one, the paddles are pretty cool!
Mightest well upgrade & add on to the collection 😂
Echo out. Could I use the Echo out FX?
Can Numark Platinum FX be used with Algoriddim’s Djay Pro on my iPad Pro ?
Not that we know of
How do i open 8 sound effects to pad

Would u pick it over the ddj 400 I really need to know cause I wanted a 400 so please help me
Depends which software you prefer.
Location please
I miss the live its cool going watch the replay. Numark new mix controllers this its real cool getting ready to watch it now aye! Funk Up Salute Peace
Good to see you here anyway!
@@digitaldjtips Same here keep up the work
@@digitaldjtips can you choose to use two deck instead of four
What does the scratch button do?
Essentially it allows you to trigger samples of scratching
Can you midi map serato fx into numark mixtrack platinum fx?
We haven't tried that yet! Would be good if you could.
This or the fx pro with full Serato is s the best controller at this price point. Toggle switches, full size pitch and large jog wheels that feel the same as denon prime 2
They've done a great job

These will work with Virtual DJ as well :)
I must admit my local dj stores offer of the platinum fx and the full serato pro software or less than £300 is tempting
Nice deal :)
Price point? Thanks for video
Tom Matthews the pro fx is $200
& the platinum fx is $250
$200/$250
@@taylorgang7288 thank you
@@digitaldjtips thank you
it would of be nice if it had more outputs
Agreed, the price would definitely go up though
can you do a review on a Denon Prime GO
There is one coming :)
What is the plastic quality feel like
Very good.
Greetings from the techno capital Detroit looking to teach some young cats the craft...what's the price point?
200/250 depending which one you go for.
can i use this with rekordbox
No you can't
My platinum fx does not want to work with pro
I have the fx pack on my ddj sb3 with Serato pro, would it be possible to add more fx with the platinum??
You can't change the assigned FX on the Mixtrack FX controllers, but you can trigger them from the laptop/mouse.
I mean Numark Mixtrack platinum fx.
Yes both will: www.virtualdj.com/products/hardware.html
The naming of these devices is nuts. So confusing. Who knows which is which. Is pro better than platinum etc
See what you’re saying! They have always been named this way.
The mixtrack pro fx is the controller that is 50 dollars cheaper & doesn't feature the visual displays on the jog wheels. The mixtrack platinum fx is 50 dollars more & DOES feature the visual displays...that is basically the only difference..both have the same effects/features although the pro fx is a 2 channel controller. Platinum is 4 channel.
